One suspect remains at large following a robbery at gunpoint in St. Paul's Midway neighborhood Wednesday night.

St. Paul Police Cmdr. Eric Anderson said the Pawn America at 1636 W. University Ave. was robbed at gunpoint by two men about 8 p.m. The men fled the scene on a motorcycle and led police on a chase to West River Parkway, where the motorcycle crashed.

Police were able to arrest one suspect, but as of 10 p.m. were still searching for the other. Anderson said an "assault-style rifle" was recovered by the Mississippi River near where the motorcycle crashed. Minneapolis and University of Minnesota police departments were assisting with the investigation, as were canine units and a State Patrol helicopter.
